This is because your body is craving meat, I'm not joking - your body misses omega 3 fats. I was vegan for 2 years - i did a meat keto diet and i felt amazing. I know I'm going to get a lot of hate but maybe I can change someones mind and not destroy their health. A vegan diet is possible but there's a lot of work to it like eating 3 brazil nuts everyday, taking b12 etc. Also it's one of the most unnatural diets in the world :) (especially raw vegan)

You should start later in life, those animal products will seriously help you grow very healthily. Even if it's just eggs and milk; but only if they come from a good source. None of the mass produced shit, or you probably would be better off on a vegan diet.

@@Makingblah71why not start asap if the exact same nutrients obtained from animal products can be found on a balanced vegan diet? What is the difference? I mean negative difference, since there's a lot of positives on quitting meat an all the animal products; so the sooner you ditch the latters, the better.
Newly minted vegan. Doctor challenged me to go vegan and so far so good. I have been enjoying your content. It is helpful for me to understand the science behind veganism.
Thank you so much for doing this. I am from TN so there is a lot of hate for veganism and you have helped me so much for backing up my stance on veganism. ❤
So I get the extremes especially for the folks Esselstyn worked with, but I judge my fat and oil intake by my results. So my cholesterol is also 110 and my ldl is 50 so I ain’t worried. If I see it going up some then I’ll cut it back but it’s hard enough to get people to eat healthy let alone plant based let alone oil free. I work with people everyday so I know how this is. A little oil here and there won’t hurt you especially walnut oil and its fantastic along with walnut milk which is absolutely ridiculous. Sometimes we do a little vegan cheese which is a few grams of saturated fat from coconut oil, but again, this is only once and a while. Check you labs and titrate your food accordingly and you’ll be doing much better than most. Great job as always Mic!
I could be wrong but what's the link between oil and cholesterol? There is no cholesterol in oil, so it is no surprise your cholesterol levels are good if you're vegan. It is however very high in saturated fat and calories. If you're not trying to loose weight, you pretty much don't care about calories, but saturated fat is not healthy. Also, the argument "[a little bit of this] here and there won't hurt you" is not receivable. I'm sure many vegans heard it already about meat or dairy. Even if it did not hurt you in very small doses, it is the kind of thinking that makes you, in the end, eat too much of it. Once a month is a little bit. Once a week is more. Once a day is too much. But since it's only once, you can keep telling yourself "a little bit is not gonna kill me, so no worries". But please don't take this personally. I am not judging you, nor your dietary habits, and am not trying to impose my will on you. Keep enjoying your vegan cheese and your oil and, most of all, stay vegan ! ;)
@@tibhamel Cholesterol is produced to facilitate shuttling fats around the body, LDL levels (the "bad" cholesterol) are particularly responsive to saturated fat. It's a complex topic with lots of corner cases and genetic variants - but on average more dietary fat should mean higher cholesterol.
@@tibhamel I would also like to add that I have been getting my bloodwork done with my gp. My Total Cholesterol (non-fasting) is at 5.8 mmol/litre despite being vegan for 7 years. It should really be at 4 mmol's or less (You want 3mmol's or less of LDL, or bad cholesterol and 1mmol or more of HDL, or good cholesterol. This can only be explained by my consumption of saturated fat (or an undiagnosed liver problem), as I obviously haven't eaten any cholesterol in 7 years. 5.8 mmol would calculate out as roughly 225mg/dl, way worse than mics 110, but I eat a lot of processed foods and rarely exercise (habits i intend to break).
When ever I tell people I'm vegan and I don't eat processed foods like oils and sugars they are completely shocked and think I'm crazy but I get flashbacks of your videos and know I'm making the best choice for my body!
Mic, you helped me so much with all your videos. I started going Plant-based about a week ago and I'm absorbing all this information. I bought Dr. Joel Fuhrmans book Eat to Live and read it in 4 hours. I've been to many vegan channels and I have to say yours is one of the most informative with best up-to-date info that you have access to plus your personality is awesome. I bet people in your life get along easily with you. Thanks for all you do and helping people like me make a turn around for better nutrition and better our planet in the process.
Thanks for this video! Like you, I tend to eat whole foods mostly without counting macros (I'm just way too lazy for that). So covering which foods have the highest saturated fat content that we should consider limiting is helpful. And I loved all the other hodgepodge!
Once again another great video. Thank you so much for your thoughts about Dr. Neal Barnard, he's one of my heroes also. Also, good call on giving up the coconut cream.
I think high carb and low carb can sometimes be a little subjective. Some people believe low carb to be 50 grams of carbs max or even anywhere under 200 grams. High carb could be perceived as anywhere over 50 grams or +200-300 grams of carbs. Personally I thrive around 200 grams carbs MINIMUM 😂 but I still consume more than 50 grams of fat, so a balanced approach works for me personally!
I switched to the "Starch Solution" way of eating last year- it is the first time I've felt good about food - and they put a lot of emphasis on eating lots of vegetables, I have watched my cholesterol lower, and other health issues resolving. I'm convinced it is the best way to eat... thanks for bringing this together!
Mike thanks for being the voice of reason and responding in such a professional way relying on facts and not spinning facts to get attention. Love your channel keep doing what you are doing. Happy holidays to you guys!
*The most important thing you can do is to get s glucose meter and know what your insulin levels are* . Anything above a glucose level of 140 and you are burning up your arteries. I was eating a high carb vegan diet and had a resting glucose levels of 120 (diabetic levels), with a 1 hour reading of 160-200. When I got a CT Angiography I was 50% blocked in my widowmaker LAD artery when I should have been squeaky clean using the Dr. Esselstyn approach, and despite having excellent bloodwork scores for triglycerides, and HDL/LDL scores. I now eat lower carb vegan diet, and my resting glucose level is now 85, and I only peak to 115-117 now. So my arteries can finally heal and reverse my endothelial damage! So: *Pay attention to your glucose levels.*
@@magnesiumoar9644 Very good. I just got my nuclear stress angiography results back, and I am now 0% blocked. They cross checked the results and confirmed the former blockage is gone.
Shane Creamer wow that's amazing, thanks for your reply! So I'm guessing you stuck to the lower carb vegan diet then? If you don't mind me asking, how old are you and what percentage of carbs would you say you have in your diet? I'm 20 and I'm terrified of having a heart attack one day...
Regarding the suggestion to "smash in those carbs," it could be a psychological thing to help borderline eating disorder folks with carb phobia to get over their fear and get enough calories in. These carb enthusiasts even say initial weight gain is fine. It could be a mindset to set someone up for success in the long term. I don't agree with them but I'm guessing this is where these high carb people are coming from. Other examples outside of nutrition are: 5x5 in the gym is arguably better for beginners but 3x5 means less time in the gym and therefore better adherence. Paying off high interest debt first makes more sense but paying off the smallest debts first boosts morale and sets up a habit. Making the bed makes no sense but it could train your mind to be productive regardless of how you feel. So these things are not optimal but I can see how they have the potential to set people up for better adherence and success in the long run.
Great video Mic! Very informative as always. I have sent some friends (that I was discussing with online)over to your channel because of how you always reference scientific articles to make your points. Thanks for all the information!! It’s much appreciated.
I agree totally. unnatural vegan is committed and often apologizes when she messes up; at one point there was a face-off between these two people, both guys I respect, and I really liked the way Mic glossed over an un-thought out assessment of Neil Barnard: very classy. Cheers!
Dude Mike, thank you for this video man. I can't believe I was part of the "high carb vegans" even though I still eat a lot of carbs and fruits. WAIT did you just say you ate cashew cheese bro?!? How dare you?! 😱
Can anyone tell me what is considered a ‘low saturated fat diet’ I try to eat absolutely no more than 15g per day but I usually eat around 8-12 If I have an off day then I occasionally end up having around 20-25g but that’s only about once a month or so So how much should I be consuming?
Mic do you know the channel plant positive ,he did some impressive work in the past ,for example in his videos ''Ketosis is natural, natural is Good part 1&2'' he demonstrate with evidence that the easy capacity of human to enter into ketosis state compare to other mammals is actually a proof that we are high carb vegan by nature. I would love to see you give him a shoutout in one of your video, so more people can discover him. BTW I'm going to post this comment under all of your video to be sure you see it ,so like or respond to this comment to show me you see it :D
Can't wait to check out Plant Positive. I find so many good tips from comments on all these vegan videos here. I am 4 mos into this and know no one who is vegan. All the videos and comments help motivate me. Mic, you're one of my favorites. It is so hard to eat out with friends without consuming cheese and oils. How do you all handle it?
I reversed the syptoms of PCOS with a high carb vegan diet.It has to be done just right though..I can't just eat white bread and call that a carb.Ive had to eat things like potatoes,brown rice,whole wheat bread and take oil out of my diet.It takes a lot of discipline,so it might not be for everyone, but I think its a very good way to eat if its done right and if you have a health problem you are trying to reverse!
@@snakebloode Not all carbohydrates are sugars. And the sugar habit in this instance does not refer to all sugars but refined sugars. So don't play games with words if it is obvious what he means.
Great! I also lost a lot of weight, around 45 pounds in 605 days of whole food-plant based which is high carb. I don't intentionally try to get my carbs higher; I just eat a lot of starches and follow the Starch Solution by Dr. John Mcdougall.
You can achieve the same result, i.e. loose weight or reverse diabetes, by removing carbohydrates from your diet, but without the negative consequence of muscle loss and malnutrition, since carbohydrates are not essential.

@@MictheVegan Check out Vegan Gains' replies to the video, they had a few videos back and forth (more on eggs than dairy I think). Vegan Gains did a good job at proving Jeff wrong
Hi Mic, thanks for the video. Possible video idea - discuss what you think the best whole food plant based books to read are,. For example, how not to die, eat to live etc.. and then there are more specific books for certain health conditions.
You are right! Dr. Barnard is s superhero, but so are you and Dr. Gregor and Dr.Esselstyn, and Dr. Campbell and Dr. McDougall and so many others! Thank you all!
A long and fairly comprehensive video that calls one of my vegan stalwarts (Dr. Greger) to task for his imprecise analysis of a few nut studies mentioned in "How Not To Die". Jeff (of Veg Source) enlists the aid of T. Colin Campbell in explaining the mystery and the facts around why nuts may or may not be good for you. And while the video may not come to any hard and fast conclusions you will definitely be very well informed on the subject of nutology. Thanks Karen.
I became aware of the video as I was filming this one and haven’t seen it but wanted to make some extra points on the benefits of nuts and also extra stuff on the walnut Industry
I love it! You and Simmet both blame the ex vegans for leaving the diet. How could a diet, so natural, so powerful, so good, be so damn hard to follow? Don’t ask an ex vegan because they did it wrong....
/Any/ fad or crash diet, that restricts calories or a large number of food groups, is difficult and unsustainable. It doesn't matter if it has the word "vegan" on it or not. Take raw food diets, for example. Some people like them, but for a majority of ordinary people, a raw food diet is unsustainable, as it's difficult to maintain adequate caloric intake, and it requires a significant time and money investment. That doesn't change if you put the word "vegan" in front of it. A vegan diet doesn't have to be hard to follow--eat whatever the fuck you want, just don't take animals' lives for your lunch. Neither does it have to be natural, powerful, or good--eat Gardein chick'n tenders and oreos all damn day, you can still be a vegan. Certain fad diets that happen to be vegan, or use vegan branding, /are/ hard to follow.
@abbreviatealex. Hey thanks for the reply! But you miss my point. Many vegans, like Mic and Simnet, blame ex vegans for leaving the diet because they say, like you did, that they practiced an extreme form of veganism. Thus blaming them for their failure. However many of those same ex vegans, and I have seen it many times, insist they were practicing a “normal” vegan diet. Rather than dealing with the underlying cause of the failure, people like mic and yourself, blame the individual. Classic “blame the victim” Furthermore your opening sentence supports the whole argument against veganism. “Any fad or crash diet, that restricts calories or a large number of food groups, is difficult and unsustainable.” Veganism restricts the largest group of nutrient dense food known to man. It does this based on moral grounds, not human health or efficacy. Morality is a human construct. A healthy diet for any organism, human or otherwise, has no moral component. A diet is either good or it’s not.
I'm a new high carb, whole food dietier, trying to lose over a hundred pounds pounds, so yeah, I'm studiously avoiding any kind of processed food, limiting my nuts and seeds and avocados, and using the least amount of oil I can currently cook with. I will add avocado and nuts and seeds back, in a few months. If I'm short something, that maybe a problem for future me. I'm eating a lot of rice and veggies right now tho. It's working too!
That was brilliant! Thanks mike for explaining the 70g saturated fat in that coconut cream!! I somehow missed that one and love my Thai curries! 😱😬😁 love your channel! Keep it coming!
I did a response vid. You would be a more credible if you used my gf's who are ALL LEAN longterm following my template vs some random meat eater nut job who is on a stack of meds that cause weight gain. She also admitted to NEVER following my advice longer than a few meals and its evident by her body composition. How can she be 40-50kg heavier than my gf's if she is eating the same lol? Come on mate. Why lie like that and not show my gf's and how lean they are.
durianrider Why aren't you off telling all those 3rd world asian people to stop having kids and get vasectomies? Isn't that more important than commenting here about you "girlfriends"? Looks like Mic doesn't block comments, unlike you.
Simple, by developing nutritional deficiencies and digestion problems. It might be beneficial for a while, simply because you've cleaned up your diet comparing to what you've been eating before, but it is unsustainable long term.
@UCkR7-rU-j05YTsdf7qDyMeQ Simple, it's a labor to compose all the nutrients from plant food, you miss one essential amino acid and you cannot build a protein. Mic will tell you to use chronometer to make sure you've got all recommended values, but chronometer says nothing about bio-availability and absorbability of plant nutrients. Meanwhile you develop food sensitivities, allergies, indigestion, gut damage and autoimmune problems. Ex-vegans who switched to carnivore diets report reversal of these conditions. OR... you can simply eat a piece of liver, a couple of eggs and you're covered and satisfied. You're welcome, you can thank me later.
@UCkR7-rU-j05YTsdf7qDyMeQ Not even sure this has anything to do with carni or keto specifically..just for some people the substantial amount of veggies beans legume grains seeds etc you need to eat to have any chance of meeting requirements on a vegan diet will fuck up some peoples guts hard over time. If these foods are giving you problems have fun getting iron or zinc while still being vegan for example.
So..where do I get essentially fatty acids and amino acids from? I’m just trying out a vegan diet but struggling as to know what I can eat that isn’t going to kill me (saturated fats) nuts sound iffy, is avocado ok? I’ve always thought avocado was good fat! Please enlighten
vegan is used to clean our system ,to build it you need animal protien ,trust me im from india most people here are vegan and are suffering from various vitamin defiency ,and many people are now eating meat ,but i doint know why the west is adopting vegan as healthy ,styled diet as per ayurveda plants are only used as medicen ,we are part of food chain from the wild which includes fish ,wild chiken ,deer
Why vegans always bring up that okinawa diet but don't mention that it was during the war and because of that it was high carb, low fat low animal food. Before war okinawans ate far more animal foods as pork and their diet contained much more fat than during the war.
Because your information is wrong. The traditional Okinawa diet was high carb, low fat, and low animal food. It probably became a little bit more extreme during wartime, but which war? WWII was never fought on Okinawan/Japanese soil, so why should there be severe hardships restricting meat consumption?
@@Chiungalla79 Any proof? Only "proof" i'm seeing is from 1950 when they were poor and pork was scarce so they ate what was most available. Go watch traditional okinawa cookbooks and see yourself how their meals like
@@GamesonQ You were the one who made the first claim, so it is your turn to bring proof or at least evidence. And if you think that cookbooks are sufficient, you are wrong. Since cookbooks never represent a diet or lifestyle. They include FANCY recipes. That's their purpose. The often don't even include the stables of the diet, because everybody knows how to cook them.
@@gavinparks5386 Why? Because we don't know everything and make mistakes from time to time? We are humans too. But if it fits your agenda every tiny mistake has to do with our lifestyle and is a reason for despair. Which is fallacious thinking and that's a reason to despair at stupid meat eaters like you. And there is still no evidence that the Okinawa diet is linked to WWII. It is described as a traditional diet. It was widely used until 1960, but that is no reason to assume that is was used because of WWII. Many diets changed since the middle of the century and WWII has very little to do with it. So as for this debate calling the Okinawa diet linked to WWII, without any evidence so far, is a far bigger mistake than not knowing that there was a battle for Okinawa. So why don't you despair at Deee Bees stupidity and bias? Because he has the same agenda as you. Meat eaters make mistakes when it comes to facts, logic, and ethics all the time. But no one cares. Then one vegan makes one mistake in history which is only loosely related to the topic, and you start to whine and despair. Lol.
All nuts that i eat, except for coconut, have minimal saturated fats. So it's kinda weird to say to not eat nuts when having heart problems. Walnuts, peanuts ( i know they are technically legumes, but they still have nut propreties ), hazelnuts are all rich in healthy unsaturated fats and minimal saturated. Am i mistaking something?
Thank you so much Mic!! This is an excellent video, I very much needed to hear that information. I personally consume a high carb raw diet but I also eat a lot of nuts & healthy fats, they are so necessary in my opinion.
Rewatching a bunch of your older videos. Happy to say, was a whole foods vegan when I first watched (went vegan Feb '18). Still whole foods vegan. :D Stay happy, stay vegan!

I could be wrong but what's the link between oil and cholesterol? There is no cholesterol in oil, so it is no surprise your cholesterol levels are good if you're vegan. It is however very high in saturated fat and calories. If you're not trying to loose weight, you pretty much don't care about calories, but saturated fat is not healthy.
Also, the argument "[a little bit of this] here and there won't hurt you" is not receivable. I'm sure many vegans heard it already about meat or dairy. Even if it did not hurt you in very small doses, it is the kind of thinking that makes you, in the end, eat too much of it. Once a month is a little bit. Once a week is more. Once a day is too much. But since it's only once, you can keep telling yourself "a little bit is not gonna kill me, so no worries".
But please don't take this personally. I am not judging you, nor your dietary habits, and am not trying to impose my will on you. Keep enjoying your vegan cheese and your oil and, most of all, stay vegan ! ;)
@@tibhamel Cholesterol is produced to facilitate shuttling fats around the body, LDL levels (the "bad" cholesterol) are particularly responsive to saturated fat. It's a complex topic with lots of corner cases and genetic variants - but on average more dietary fat should mean higher cholesterol.
@@LordFuzzandBeak well thank you very much for that useful bit of information :)
@@tibhamel I would also like to add that I have been getting my bloodwork done with my gp. My Total Cholesterol (non-fasting) is at 5.8 mmol/litre despite being vegan for 7 years. It should really be at 4 mmol's or less (You want 3mmol's or less of LDL, or bad cholesterol and 1mmol or more of HDL, or good cholesterol. This can only be explained by my consumption of saturated fat (or an undiagnosed liver problem), as I obviously haven't eaten any cholesterol in 7 years. 5.8 mmol would calculate out as roughly 225mg/dl, way worse than mics 110, but I eat a lot of processed foods and rarely exercise (habits i intend to break).
@@Xelian86 Saturated fat is far worse than cholesterol for your blood chol levels..
When ever I tell people I'm vegan and I don't eat processed foods like oils and sugars they are completely shocked and think I'm crazy but I get flashbacks of your videos and know I'm making the best choice for my body!
"Namastay vegan" is absolute genius.
Mic, you helped me so much with all your videos. I started going Plant-based about a week ago and I'm absorbing all this information. I bought Dr. Joel Fuhrmans book Eat to Live and read it in 4 hours. I've been to many vegan channels and I have to say yours is one of the most informative with best up-to-date info that you have access to plus your personality is awesome. I bet people in your life get along easily with you. Thanks for all you do and helping people like me make a turn around for better nutrition and better our planet in the process.
Thanks for this video! Like you, I tend to eat whole foods mostly without counting macros (I'm just way too lazy for that). So covering which foods have the highest saturated fat content that we should consider limiting is helpful. And I loved all the other hodgepodge!
Once again another great video. Thank you so much for your thoughts about Dr. Neal Barnard, he's one of my heroes also. Also, good call on giving up the coconut cream.
I think high carb and low carb can sometimes be a little subjective. Some people believe low carb to be 50 grams of carbs max or even anywhere under 200 grams. High carb could be perceived as anywhere over 50 grams or +200-300 grams of carbs. Personally I thrive around 200 grams carbs MINIMUM 😂 but I still consume more than 50 grams of fat, so a balanced approach works for me personally!
Isn't "balance" subjective as well? Everyone calls their approach balanced.
Yassssssss!! Can’t get enough of this!!

I love your T-shirt idea! I also appreciate your balance of intelligence, humor, and general coolness. Thank you for making your sane videos.
I switched to the "Starch Solution" way of eating last year- it is the first time I've felt good about food - and they put a lot of emphasis on eating lots of vegetables, I have watched my cholesterol lower, and other health issues resolving. I'm convinced it is the best way to eat... thanks for bringing this together!

*The most important thing you can do is to get s glucose meter and know what your insulin levels are* . Anything above a glucose level of 140 and you are burning up your arteries.
I was eating a high carb vegan diet and had a resting glucose levels of 120 (diabetic levels), with a 1 hour reading of 160-200.
When I got a CT Angiography I was 50% blocked in my widowmaker LAD artery when I should have been squeaky clean using the Dr. Esselstyn approach, and despite having excellent bloodwork scores for triglycerides, and HDL/LDL scores.
I now eat lower carb vegan diet, and my resting glucose level is now 85, and I only peak to 115-117 now.
So my arteries can finally heal and reverse my endothelial damage!
So: *Pay attention to your glucose levels.*

Another great video! Thank you, Mike! I´m surprised no TV channel has picked up your videos. You are entertainment gold! Keep it up, please!
I use cartoned coconut milk. It's a lot lower. 1g saturated fat for 100ml. So not as big a deal. Get the taste without the fat.
Excellent video Mic! You're truly a fun and educational person to watch and I appreciate what you're doing. Keep it up brotha man!
Regarding the suggestion to "smash in those carbs," it could be a psychological thing to help borderline eating disorder folks with carb phobia to get over their fear and get enough calories in. These carb enthusiasts even say initial weight gain is fine. It could be a mindset to set someone up for success in the long term. I don't agree with them but I'm guessing this is where these high carb people are coming from.
Other examples outside of nutrition are:
5x5 in the gym is arguably better for beginners but 3x5 means less time in the gym and therefore better adherence.
Paying off high interest debt first makes more sense but paying off the smallest debts first boosts morale and sets up a habit.
Making the bed makes no sense but it could train your mind to be productive regardless of how you feel.
So these things are not optimal but I can see how they have the potential to set people up for better adherence and success in the long run.

because your cholesterol deficient brain can't go in-depth, why don't you go ahead and google how much cholesterol is in the brain my man.
I agree totally. unnatural vegan is committed and often apologizes when she messes up; at one point there was a face-off between these two people, both guys I respect, and I really liked the way Mic glossed over an un-thought out assessment of Neil Barnard: very classy. Cheers!

Thanks Mike. I enjoy your research on these topics.
Yeah.....I’m not going to stop eating fat.
Can anyone tell me what is considered a ‘low saturated fat diet’
I try to eat absolutely no more than 15g per day but I usually eat around 8-12
If I have an off day then I occasionally end up having around 20-25g but that’s only about once a month or so
So how much should I be consuming?
lower than 15% of your calories,that comes to under 25-30g depending on your average caloric intake
The omega 6 : omega 3 ratio from Chronometer in 85 is TEN to one, that's insane.
Always happy to c my notification from u 😇
Hope to see some holiday stuff soon!
Mic do you know the channel plant positive ,he did some impressive work in the past ,for example in his videos ''Ketosis is natural, natural is Good part 1&2'' he demonstrate with evidence that the easy capacity of human to enter into ketosis state compare to other mammals is actually a proof that we are high carb vegan by nature.
I would love to see you give him a shoutout in one of your video, so more people can discover him.

All the videos and comments help motivate me. Mic, you're one of my favorites. It is so hard to eat out with friends without consuming cheese and oils. How do you all handle it?
Love your videos! I have been subscribed for a long time now and now our family channel is subscribed!!
I reversed the syptoms of PCOS with a high carb vegan diet.It has to be done just right though..I can't just eat white bread and call that a carb.Ive had to eat things like potatoes,brown rice,whole wheat bread and take oil out of my diet.It takes a lot of discipline,so it might not be for everyone, but I think its a very good way to eat if its done right and if you have a health problem you are trying to reverse!

Not all carbohydrates are sugars. And the sugar habit in this instance does not refer to all sugars but refined sugars. So don't play games with words if it is obvious what he means.

I love high carb diet there amazing I lost 80 pounds on a high carb diet
Great! I also lost a lot of weight, around 45 pounds in 605 days of whole food-plant based which is high carb. I don't intentionally try to get my carbs higher; I just eat a lot of starches and follow the Starch Solution by Dr. John Mcdougall.
How much of it was fat?
You can achieve the same result, i.e. loose weight or reverse diabetes, by removing carbohydrates from your diet, but without the negative consequence of muscle loss and malnutrition, since carbohydrates are not essential.

Hi Mic, thanks for the video. Possible video idea - discuss what you think the best whole food plant based books to read are,. For example, how not to die, eat to live etc.. and then there are more specific books for certain health conditions.

Thanks for your videos Mic. Have you checked out Vegsource's recent video Nuts Won't Save Your Life?
A long and fairly comprehensive video that calls one of my vegan stalwarts (Dr. Greger) to task for his imprecise analysis of a few nut studies mentioned in "How Not To Die". Jeff (of Veg Source) enlists the aid of T. Colin Campbell in explaining the mystery and the facts around why nuts may or may not be good for you. And while the video may not come to any hard and fast conclusions you will definitely be very well informed on the subject of nutology. Thanks Karen.
@@eristicate You are welcome.

Love your awesome info and work!!!! 💟
I love it! You and Simmet both blame the ex vegans for leaving the diet. How could a diet, so natural, so powerful, so good, be so damn hard to follow? Don’t ask an ex vegan because they did it wrong....
/Any/ fad or crash diet, that restricts calories or a large number of food groups, is difficult and unsustainable. It doesn't matter if it has the word "vegan" on it or not. Take raw food diets, for example. Some people like them, but for a majority of ordinary people, a raw food diet is unsustainable, as it's difficult to maintain adequate caloric intake, and it requires a significant time and money investment. That doesn't change if you put the word "vegan" in front of it.
A vegan diet doesn't have to be hard to follow--eat whatever the fuck you want, just don't take animals' lives for your lunch. Neither does it have to be natural, powerful, or good--eat Gardein chick'n tenders and oreos all damn day, you can still be a vegan. Certain fad diets that happen to be vegan, or use vegan branding, /are/ hard to follow.
@abbreviatealex. Hey thanks for the reply! But you miss my point. Many vegans, like Mic and Simnet, blame ex vegans for leaving the diet because they say, like you did, that they practiced an extreme form of veganism. Thus blaming them for their failure. However many of those same ex vegans, and I have seen it many times, insist they were practicing a “normal” vegan diet. Rather than dealing with the underlying cause of the failure, people like mic and yourself, blame the individual. Classic “blame the victim”
Furthermore your opening sentence supports the whole argument against veganism. “Any fad or crash diet, that restricts calories or a large number of food groups, is difficult and unsustainable.” Veganism restricts the largest group of nutrient dense food known to man. It does this based on moral grounds, not human health or efficacy. Morality is a human construct. A healthy diet for any organism, human or otherwise, has no moral component. A diet is either good or it’s not.
I'm a new high carb, whole food dietier, trying to lose over a hundred pounds pounds, so yeah, I'm studiously avoiding any kind of processed food, limiting my nuts and seeds and avocados, and using the least amount of oil I can currently cook with. I will add avocado and nuts and seeds back, in a few months. If I'm short something, that maybe a problem for future me. I'm eating a lot of rice and veggies right now tho. It's working too!
Eating avocados makes my skin awsome. Perhaps its just refined oils and unnatural fats.
That was brilliant! Thanks mike for explaining the 70g saturated fat in that coconut cream!! I somehow missed that one and love my Thai curries! 😱😬😁 love your channel! Keep it coming!
I’m glad you commented on this. Rewatch the video. I’m pretty sure the 70 was 70 percent of the RDA not 70 grams of saturated fat.

wtf was that music at 7mins lmao
I like your honest reviews...
how does anyone quit veganism once they make the switch? i could never.
idk quitting anything is pretty easy
coming into health problems
Simple, by developing nutritional deficiencies and digestion problems. It might be beneficial for a while, simply because you've cleaned up your diet comparing to what you've been eating before, but it is unsustainable long term.
@UCkR7-rU-j05YTsdf7qDyMeQ Simple, it's a labor to compose all the nutrients from plant food, you miss one essential amino acid and you cannot build a protein. Mic will tell you to use chronometer to make sure you've got all recommended values, but chronometer says nothing about bio-availability and absorbability of plant nutrients. Meanwhile you develop food sensitivities, allergies, indigestion, gut damage and autoimmune problems. Ex-vegans who switched to carnivore diets report reversal of these conditions.
OR... you can simply eat a piece of liver, a couple of eggs and you're covered and satisfied. You're welcome, you can thank me later.
@UCkR7-rU-j05YTsdf7qDyMeQ Not even sure this has anything to do with carni or keto specifically..just for some people the substantial amount of veggies beans legume grains seeds etc you need to eat to have any chance of meeting requirements on a vegan diet will fuck up some peoples guts hard over time. If these foods are giving you problems have fun getting iron or zinc while still being vegan for example.

Why vegans always bring up that okinawa diet but don't mention that it was during the war and because of that it was high carb, low fat low animal food. Before war okinawans ate far more animal foods as pork and their diet contained much more fat than during the war.
Because your information is wrong. The traditional Okinawa diet was high carb, low fat, and low animal food. It probably became a little bit more extreme during wartime, but which war? WWII was never fought on Okinawan/Japanese soil, so why should there be severe hardships restricting meat consumption?
@@Chiungalla79 Any proof? Only "proof" i'm seeing is from 1950 when they were poor and pork was scarce so they ate what was most available. Go watch traditional okinawa cookbooks and see yourself how their meals like
@@GamesonQ
You were the one who made the first claim, so it is your turn to bring proof or at least evidence.
And if you think that cookbooks are sufficient, you are wrong. Since cookbooks never represent a diet or lifestyle. They include FANCY recipes. That's their purpose. The often don't even include the stables of the diet, because everybody knows how to cook them.

No wonder people despair at vegans.
@@gavinparks5386
Why? Because we don't know everything and make mistakes from time to time? We are humans too. But if it fits your agenda every tiny mistake has to do with our lifestyle and is a reason for despair. Which is fallacious thinking and that's a reason to despair at stupid meat eaters like you.
And there is still no evidence that the Okinawa diet is linked to WWII. It is described as a traditional diet. It was widely used until 1960, but that is no reason to assume that is was used because of WWII. Many diets changed since the middle of the century and WWII has very little to do with it.
So as for this debate calling the Okinawa diet linked to WWII, without any evidence so far, is a far bigger mistake than not knowing that there was a battle for Okinawa. So why don't you despair at Deee Bees stupidity and bias? Because he has the same agenda as you.
Meat eaters make mistakes when it comes to facts, logic, and ethics all the time. But no one cares. Then one vegan makes one mistake in history which is only loosely related to the topic, and you start to whine and despair. Lol.

All nuts that i eat, except for coconut, have minimal saturated fats. So it's kinda weird to say to not eat nuts when having heart problems. Walnuts, peanuts ( i know they are technically legumes, but they still have nut propreties ), hazelnuts are all rich in healthy unsaturated fats and minimal saturated.
Am i mistaking something?
Thank you so much Mic!! This is an excellent video, I very much needed to hear that information. I personally consume a high carb raw diet but I also eat a lot of nuts & healthy fats, they are so necessary in my opinion.
